New STEAM Explorers program at Theatre33

Big ideas start with curiosity: Introducing Theatre33’s STEAM Explorers Program for grades K–5 — a hands-on enrichment program where students learn by building, experimenting, creating, collaborating, and solving real challenges.

Students are encouraged to ask questions, try different solutions, learn from mistakes, explain their ideas, and turn imagination into real projects. No previous experience is required — just curiosity and a willingness to explore. Daily two-two hour block classes in the heart of the BelRed Arts District.

Theatre33 is a qualified 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Tax ID Number: 46-4280740.
